Edwards, Hodgdon vying for District 1 state rep. slot

NORTHWOOD — Town voters on Nov. 6 will choose between Democrat Lucy Edwards and Republican Bruce Hodgdon for state representative in District 1.

The district includes the local town of Northwood.

Edwards, 69, of 177 Old Mountain Road, is a former member of the Northwood Board of Selectmen, and had previously served on the Planning Board and Budget Committee. She is on the Recycling Committee, and is a founding member of the Northwood Farmers Market Association.

Edwards, who has lived in town for 18 years, is married, and has two grown daughters and four grandsons.

Before retiring in January 2011, Edwards worked as a senior branch office administrator at Edward Jones. She has also been the business manager for her husband’s automotive tool distribution business.

“New Hampshire needs some commonsense, home-grown, fiscally responsible and grown up legislators,” said Edwards in a recent email. “We have gotten way off track over the last two years and need to move quickly to fix the damage done and prepare the state for a global economy on a warming planet. There is no more time to waste with radical agendas and partisan games.”

Hodgdon could not be reached for this article.
